The June LibraryReads List Is Here!

June lr

Hello, librarians!

You voted, they counted, and the winners have finally been announced!

We are over the moon about our fantastic showing this month. Thank you to all who voted!

The TOP PICK this month is Catherine Newman's Sandwich. Also making the list is Rufi Thorpe's Margo's Got Money Troubles and Kirsten Miller's Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books. We also have four (!) Hall of Fame authors: Wanda M. Morris, author of What You Leave Behind; Lucy Foley, author of The Midnight Feast; Peter Swanson, author of A Talent for Murder; and Paul Tremblay, author of Horror Movie.

Want to hear how our authors reacted to the big news? We did a special video call to tell them! Listen to our latest episode of The Library Love Fest Podcast to hear from them or click the video below to watch their reactions.

Congrats to all!
